Kunth's Evening Primrose 'Glowing Magenta'
Oenothera kunthiana

Brand new plant for me, very small right now. The blooms are bright pink, not the faded out pale color of my other ones.

Thanks for your comments. The flowers are a bit on the small side but the bright color makes them stand out. I had never heard of this before, either. A greenhouse operator in our area grew them from seed (from Thompson and Morgan, I think).

Just bought one of these--just can't resist trying something new-- so was looking for some more info. It is so new that the label lacks a picture. Hope it will self sow. Might have trouble getting it through the winter without babying it in my zone 5 and semi desert area. (Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada) It is rated a zone 6 on the label. Fun to try.
